Thanks for fast answers!

Yes it´s a proximity sensor. When connecting it like you mentioned Gav, it gives values around 576 (+-10) no matter what distance i have. Hmm, what is it that i am doing wrong here?

I have just started to use arduino as an interface to max/msp with Arduino2Max. Can someoneplease give me tips on how to connect an IR sensor to the arduino board. The tutorial in the playground says i need two resistors but i dont know how to wire they together with the sensor and the arduino board.

The IR Sensor i have are an Sharp 2YOA2I

I have successfully connected photo resistors to the arduino and recieved signals in max/msp, so i know that the connection between arduino and max/msp works.

Thanks in advance!

I am really interested in to get touch sensiting working together with max/msp, has anyone did that?
I am using the arduino2Max patch to get Arduino talk to max/msp.
